Notability to come. Chealer 03:24, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete absent a show of actual merit in a third party source of substance. FrozenPurpleCube 04:22, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as per above. (Perhaps it's about time we make a WP:LINUX for the notability of linux versions...) Redian (Talk) 04:43, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

- Speedy Delete as this spammy article serves only to promote the product and its promotor. --Gavin Collins 16:15, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Note that that isn't grounds for deletion - verifiability and notability are the main criteria, not whether or not an article may promote an organization or product. Articles with a POV should generally be rewritten, not deleted. Henrik 22:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, Blatant advertising remains a grounds for speedy deletion, and advertising is also mentioned on the deletion policy page. It might be argued that this page offers other content (though I don't think it does), but advertising pages are still a valid grounds for deletion. FrozenPurpleCube 23:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, blatant advertising (with no encyclopedic content) is grounds for deletion. I don't really think that is the case in this article though. It is written in a fairly neutral tone and doesn't overly promote CAELinux. It does however lack sources and has questionable notability. Henrik 07:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- You're missing the point, which was that advertising is still a valid grounds to argue for deletion. Since this article doesn't provide any real encyclopedic content, I don't object to arguing for deletion on those grounds. FrozenPurpleCube 11:39, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
